About Us

Due to extremely hot temperatures and to help ensure system reliability, Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation is activating load control today from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. This only affects members who are signed up for load control (and receive a monthly credit on their bill for participating).

The load control measures today will affect central air conditioning units. They will be cycled off only 15 minutes out every 30 minutes during today’s load control period. Most members should experience minimal inconvenience. Blue Ridge Electric thanks members for their patience during this very important effort to ensure the best reliability during extremely hot temperatures. If members have questions, they may contact their local Blue Ridge Electric office.
